About

We build tools to get cities on the path to better technology, help citizens get the responsive government they should expect, and scale up small discussions to city-wide change. We are an impartial, informed guide to civic technology, incorporating technology, transportation and city planning, an open-source approach, and the standards knowledge necessary to deliver valuable tools to our clients.

Our main office is in New York City, and we have staff in Chicago and Philadelphia.

OpenPlans is a 501(c)3. In addition to our transportation and planning work, we incubated and launched OpenGeo, Streetfilms, Streetsblog, and GothamSchools.
